*Official* Indian Premier League 2011

I reckon it's because he is so willing to shamelessly plug the DLF maximums and Karbon Kamal catches.

Doully and Hashra is easily the best commentary team you get in the IPL. Doully has been quality for this last year or so.

lol.. his name is Harsha

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah Jackman is pretty quality.

That said, the presentation both in commentary and how this is advertised is 1000x better than last season. This is slick and modern and quality.

I love how they are not trying to over use the space available to show all kinds of junk on the scorebox ticker line.. You only see what you need to see, which is great.. Like how they are measuring 30s for T20s as well

I thought so but then I looked back at it and thought it surely couldn't be "Harsh-eh" and copped out.

Who are you rooting for this IPL btw?

The two "tactical timeouts" are really annoying though. Half the time no one needs them. Yesterday, Mumbai were cruising and there was nothing Bangalore could do about it really with Nannes injured, and still they have a "tactical timeout" forced on them after 16 overs.

Well Kolkata is my past seasons team but with the big player trade I'm still a bit of a free agent, I do have certain teams I hate though.

Bit of a fan of any team with Kiwis in it. Mumbai with Franklin, Tendulkar and Malinga is pretty hard to resist.

Though they'll drop Franklin for Symonds soon enough and I'll still be looking for a #1 team.

lol.. as someone in Cricinfo pointed out last year, this could be the world's very first sponsored ad break..




****, Vijay, why can't you play like this in ODIs and T20Is for India?

What about one with Southee and pretty soon, Bollinger?

Chennai have a very gun team and with Pig and Styris they might just win me.

Though as defending champions, I don't really want to jump on the bandwagon.

 

[Daemon]

**** me, did Vijay bat that well? On paper it looks like the innings of the tournament so far

 

[Athlai]

Played one of the better knocks of the tournament for sure.

Dhoni attempting to surpass it right now though.

 

[Athlai]

Harsha that was woeful.

 

[kingpin]

Ahhh!!The Trademark Helicoptor Shot From MSD!!

 

[Blaze 18]

0/2 to 188/4. Impressive.

 

[honestbharani]

man Punjab are tearing us out.. And it is not even Gilly..

 

[Blaze 18]

This Valthaty dude isn't too bad.

 

[Blaze 18]

Dhoni must be really missing Murali.

 

[Blaze 18]

Another massive over. Chennai need a wicket and fast. Punjab are clear favourites here.

 

[Jono]

COME ON PUNJAB!

Do this.

Laid Chennai to not win at $1.40. Amazingly short for a T20 match.

 

[Blaze 18]

Randiv strikes with the last ball of his spell. Valthaty's still there though.
